Today's Sai Inspires Sai Baba's 86th Birthday Celebrations - Updates - Photos - Videos     Date: Thursday, December 08, 2011 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Dwell always on lofty thoughts. When air fills a football, it takes the form of a ball. When it fills a balloon, it takes the form of the balloon, oval or spherical. So too, the mind takes the form of the objects with which it is attached. If it gets fixed on small things, it becomes small. If it is fixed on noble and grand things, it becomes noble and grand. The camera takes a picture of whatever it is pointed at, so is the case with the mind. Discriminate before you develop attachment. If your attachment is towards spouse and children, lands and buildings, bank accounts and balances, you will experience grief when they decline. Develop sincere and steady attachment towards the Divine and you will grow in love and splendour. Devotion is not a matter of beads and beards, nor is worship signified by flowers, camphor or bell-ringing. You are judged by your spiritual discipline, thoughts and sense-control. -BABA   Yesterday's Thought   Date: Wednesday, December 07, 2011 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY A true hero is the steady person who is not agitated in the least, by ups and downs caused by roaring waves on the sea of life. Such a person never loses poise; it becomes part of one's nature! The one who keeps to his schedule of spiritual discipline whatever be the attractions or distractions, is a wise person, also referred to as Dheera. Dhee means Buddhi (intellect), and this the true quality of man. It is not the attire or the moustache that marks out the 'hero'. True humanness blossoms with the rejection of the duality of joy and sorrow, and all your exploit should be to conquer the two. Your victory should be over internal foes, rather than external ones. Then the gain you acquire is immortality! Things of the world cannot confer that state of bliss. When you truly and steadily rise above joy and grief, the bliss you attain is absolute, independent and full. -BABA
